That's the whole point of a capitalistic society, isn't it?

Yes, that is called 'a pyramid scheme' and is a felony.
It works like this, I have some big bucks and a warehouse, and I use my 'leverage and smarts' to create a marketing company, and sell little parts of my inventory to you and six friends, for a 100% markup. I repeat this to 22 other groups.
You and your friends go out and sell your 'inventory' for a 100% markup. Those poor suckers end up using the stuff as holiday gifts for the next ten years, due to a news release about how a different product is the cure for dry skin, etc. and ours is not good for that, unless we want to risk FDA indictment for false claims...
Best Products went through that in 1974, when I was selling Amway Products. Amway is legit. Best executives were indicted for false claims, Pyramid Fraud, and more... Probably out of jail, by now...
The modern manufacturers have their own chains of stores, and you aren't going to exceed a 20% margin, because they can out compete your little stores, and, they will do it!
You probably need to take a few business courses, just to hear the examples and old war stories!

Of course you can. I would suggest that you contact salesman and have a list that you can sale to first. Then start your searches. Of course eBay is one place. You can also check them out by going there and just typing "Wholesale". That will give you an idea of whats out there. I've done this a long time ago just when the Internet started and I ended up making a few bucks. One thing is be careful about places such as SMC. Check the online bbb.com . You need the name of the company and either their website or the town and state of the main office of the company your interested in.

that is possible, trading as is. but the percentage wise for your profit is quite a bit high. i don't think the sales people will agree to it if they are smart enough to figure it out. plus if the item is in demand, you might hit it big. but if the item is so-so, i highly doubt it unless you got a sales man who is not familiar with the trade, they might agree to your negotiation. but if they are aware how the rules works, you got a problem on your deal, you will not reach your goal..

Your pal is incorrect, of path. till she is pretending to be an approved reseller, she is doing no longer something unlawful. regardless of somebody needs to pay, it is for them to decide on. cost ticket scalping is a different occasion that doesn't prepare for the excuses you reported. Take the example of the Nintendo Wii... There are particularly some people who purchase them in basic terms to resell them on Ebay at a income. it is in basic terms approximately precisely like cost ticket scalping and is thoroughly criminal.

Do you have contacts in china or taiwan where you can buy in bulk. if not find a shipping port where you can buy part of a container load.
